Actually - either will do. I downloaded the split zip in the original post and extracted the contents. The dload/update.app file that it contains has the MD5 checksum mentioned in the original post.

I then downloaded the Huawei B952, extracted it and checked the MD5 checksum of the dload/update.app and it is identical. This means that the files are identical so you can use either.

E.g. if you have trouble downloading the split zip from the original post or reassembling it (I couldn't do this with 7Zip and had to use WinRAR) then you can download from Huawei instead. It is a good idea to double check the MD5 checksum to ensure that the dload/update.app file is intact before attempting to do the forced update.

Great guide thanks, I have followed this and unlocked bootloader but I have a question - if I flash a new ROM will this then flash a hacked bootloader or am I able to unlock like this then continue flashing custom ROMs?

You're Welcome :)

And no, Flashing custom ROMs will not replace the bootloader at all. Once you have unlocked, you can always check the bootloader by following ONLY this post: http://www.modaco.co...d/#entry2128103

Hey guys, I was running cm 10.1 before I unlocked the bootloader, followed everything and managed to do it but, after I restored my cm 10.1 installation the phone won't get passed the boot logo (Huawei Ascend) and no I did not restore the boot partition. What did I do wrong?

If you cannot boot, you could try going into CWM > mounts and storage > Format System > Yes, then mount USB storage, and then download CM10.1 again and then flash it like a normal zip, as it sounds like your /system partition did not restore properly. Hope this fixes your problem :)

Hi, sorry if these questions have already been asked but I am new to this, I have managed to get my 16bit bootloader unlock code from Huawei using the email method(due to not being able to get the product id)

I am still using the stock rom but would like to remove some of the apps that come with the phone, also its unlocked and on O2

Android version 2.3.6

Baseband version 109808

Build number U8815V100R001C02B895

I have read that the phone will be wiped after the bootloader is unlocked, could someone tell me what is lost, is its just

the settings and not the address book? Can you backup what is lost and restore?
